Editorial Policy & Standards

Who runs this site

PixelRevamp is edited by Karim B. Every article, calculator, and page on this site is reviewed under the standards below before it publishes. There is no separate editorial board and no outside ownership that directs coverage — see About for more, and the author page for who Karim is.

How we produce content

We're upfront about this because readers deserve to know: articles on this site are drafted with AI assistance, working from primary sources and under an editor's direction, not generated unsupervised and published unreviewed. Concretely:

• Primary-source research first: Every article starts from primary-source research — IRS guidance, government data, court and agency filings, or named reporting we can link to. Nothing is drafted from an AI system's unsourced recollection of a fact.
• Bound statutory figures: Every statutory figure (a tax bracket, a deduction, a deadline) is bound to a sourced, dated entry in our own data files and re-verified on a schedule. See "How we handle numbers" below.
• Human editorial accountability: Karim reviews and is accountable for what publishes under the PixelRevamp byline. This is genuinely a small, AI-assisted operation, not a large newsroom — we'd rather say that plainly than imply a staff that doesn't exist.

How we handle numbers

This is a money and tax site, and a wrong number here is not a small mistake — it can cost a reader an underpayment penalty or a missed deduction. So accuracy is built into how the site works, not left to a single person's diligence:

• Every recurring statutory figure (tax brackets, deduction amounts, mileage rates, deadlines) is stored once, in a dated, sourced entry, and every article pulls that same figure rather than typing it fresh.
• Every stored figure carries the primary source it came from and the date it was verified there.
• Figures are re-checked against their live source on a schedule, and a figure past its check-by date is treated as unverified until it's re-confirmed.
• Any number that isn't pulled from our verified data is required to carry its own citation, in the same sentence, to a named primary source.
• An article cannot publish with an unsourced number in it. This is enforced by the site's build process, not just a style guideline.

If the underlying rule changes mid-year, as the IRS mileage rate did in 2026, we add the new figure with its own effective date rather than overwriting the old one, so an article about an earlier date keeps showing the number that was actually correct then.
